HOW IT ALL BEGAN...

Bill “A trip to the Tuscany region in Italy ignited my love for the wine industry. The breathtaking views and the smell of the land, seeing those amazing old vines produce world-class wines, following winding country roads to elegant estates, meeting master winemakers/owners. It was a dream come true for me! This was all I needed to develop Club Wine Tours.

This is my second time booking club wine tours. Bill Jack is an amazing tour guide. We went to 4 vineyards and 1 distillery. The entire experience was very educational. I would recommend this place to all my friends and family. Bill is very sociable and knows a lot of people that own and work for the wineries. We met and took a picture with the amazing owner of Summer hill Pyramid Winery. Bill even taught me how to saber a bottle of champagne!!! Overall, club wine tours is fantastic and I would definitely book with this company in the future.

On two days notice Bill put together a wonderful tour for us . Bill was a wonderful host who chose the right vineyards for our taste in wine and an amazing vineyard for the dinner at the end of the tour. He was extremely educative but in a none serious or preachy way. We really couldn't praise him more highly.
